School districts in Texas have to navigate seemingly contradictory legal requirements in the area of religion in public schools. Schools cannot establish religion by coercing, endorsing, or promoting religious views in schools. At the same time, schools cannot interfere with individuals’ free expression of their beliefs and religion can be a part of the school curriculum. Legal authority try to help districts effectively address the issues that may arise regarding religious expression in public schools.
